AWS Summit 2017 – Keynote

** Note: These are notes taken from various sessions and the keynote of the 2017 AWS Public Sector Summit held in Canberra, Australia. The information might be slightly unstructured, and the photos might be a bit raw.

Keynote – AWS

Introduction: I was running a little late, so I missed the intro by Andrew Phillips. When I arrived, Teresa Carlson was talking about security, resource zones and a new announcement (a dark fibre ICON connected link to the AWS data centres). Unstructured notes follow.

Focused on Federal Government

Resiliency – Resource Zones (now 3 per region)

Security:

New: Dark fibre DirectConnect ICON connected C1 NextDC

Global Security –

FedRamp, ITAR, NIST (definition of cloud)

AWS Shield – DDoS – No charge scaling model (in the case of a DDoS)

** Transforming Australia Post – Andrew Walduck **

“Digital Transformation” buzzword heavy. Creating a contemporary company. Random stats that support the notion of the digital workforce.Rate of change can create huge companies in a few years. Who buys from AusPost online?

But do they teach ICT fundamentals? I’d hope they don’t just focus on “server-less”, APIsDiversity plug.

The audience are the superheroes, we’re told. Throwing that superlative around.

We’re wrapping the keynote.
